Abstract
This study aims at determining strategic role groups related to the management of agro-science technopark site based on external conditions (opportunities and threats) and internal condition (strengths and weaknesses). Data were collected through observation and focus group discussion. Data analysis in this study employs SWOT analysis and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). SWOT analysis uses internal and competitiveness factors to reveal that the strategic position of the management is within the first quadrant (Strengths-Opportunities strategy) with the coordinate points of 0.76 and 2.52. Paired comparative evaluation with AHP reveals that the global priority value from strategic role groups is: PS1 (0.419) local government’s role, stakeholders, and institutional management; PS2 (0.239) research institutions’ role, research and development; PS3 (0.210) community and business world’s role; PS5 (0.136) regional condition and availability of raw materials’ role; and PS4 (0.131) institutional role and marketing system.
Highlights
Innovation is critical in economic growth and creation of competitiveness, a helix concept, which is based on the idea that innovation is an interactive result that involves various actors that contribute based on their institutional function in the community is proposed (Praswati, 2017)

Summary
Innovation is critical in economic growth and creation of competitiveness, a helix concept, which is based on the idea that innovation is an interactive result that involves various actors that contribute based on their institutional function in the community is proposed (Praswati, 2017). One of the innovation spaces within the helix concept is the science and technopark, which is able to commercialize knowledge and provide service to develop entrepreneurial potential and ensure competitive advantages of a region, including, Gorontalo province. It becomes urgent to carry out a comprehensive study on the readiness of Gorontalo province in developing a science technopark as an area with economic development dimension as well as the center of knowledge and technology development that support the acceleration of innovation as well as a motor in the development of the region
